I just thought it would be appropriate to include a link into this thread. At 1st blush, I don't think the acpi is working with the fan correctly.

Yes, the info there describes pretty much what happens on my system (intel dual core T23330) Its fine in 4.3, runs around 40-45 deg, but in Q1.2 just goes up steadily till I shut down at around 70deg. Would probably go higher if I let it._________________Spup Frugal HD and USB

In that cpu high temp thread I reported directly that I have the same issue.
Since my post other people reported also.
Unfortunately none of the developers showed interest in this issue.
I think this issue needs more attention, as lucid starts to show the same kind of behavior now as in quirky.
Will a certain moment those machine blow up?
Can quirky and Lucid still be used on these machines?_________________Time savers:

strange jerky video in youtube (boot with pfix=ram)
I have now 1GB of RAM.
I noticed jerky video when playing from youtube owl city fireflies At that moment the temperature got high and warnings are issued. The laptop is very slow then.
I looked at some other video's and I didn't see that issue, until I played Beyonce Sweat Dreams (Official Music Video) + Lyrics where I had he same issue.

I was aware of the xf86-video-ati-6.13.0-q1 package and installed it and restarted X.
It didn't improve the issue. These two video's were still jerky.

Then I had the idea to replace, in xorg.conf, the radeon driver by the vesa driver, restarted X and did the tests again.
This time the video's played ok, but the laptop still runs hot.

Even when typing this, the fan is going often to cool the laptop.

So I don't know if this jerky video issue is a bug or not, but I wanted to report and also that vesa seems to make the video's run better.
Don't know what the effect of vesa is on my Ati mobility Radeon 7500 controller in comparison with the radeon driver.

Q1.2rc doesn't have the latest Adobe Flash player, so I'm wondering if the latest player will improve things ...would you mind downloading and trying it?

OK I'll do that.
Coolpup was so nice to make it available.

Barry,
I installed the Adobe Flash Player coolpup (thank you) provided.
SeaMonkey reports 10.1.r53
It seems there is a very very slight improvement, really difficult to say.
So I consider the issue is still there and this latest player didn't really help.

Again I did the experience that when running X with the vesa driver I don't have the issue at all.
Could this be an indication that there is a relation with the radeon driver?

Not prepared to run my machine that hot, that is for sure. It also suggests battery life will be short............

These still refers to Quirky 1.1 since I didn't have time to upgrade yet:
- when aborting "Auto DHCP" in the Network Wizard it will show the "SUCCESSFULLY CONFIGURED" dialog and ask, if you wanna save the configuration. I think it should not show that
- when I lose my network connection (when the router re-connect to the internet / force disconnect) I need to manually trigger a DHCP request
- when you launch XF-Prot it show a read dialog, that only has a "Okay" button, but it say you should click the "close box", if you want to cancel the interstallation. So there is no way to cancel it
- while trying to get my scanner to work I came across a script named "scannerwizard.sh", that brings up the sane-backend page and a list of modules to select. But no matter what I select it says the script is incomplete and nothing was done
- after installing a package all windows, that are minimized are being restored and you have to minimize them again. Pretty annoying

More on the scanner issue later. It's a Canon i-SENSYS MF4010 and xsane and sane-find-scanner did not detect it. Even after updating to the latest sane-backend/xsane.

FYI, I installed the new sane backend PET and the new xsane PET into Quirky 1.1 along with the HP scanner driver from here and it worked with my HP all-in-one.

I have a HP Photosmart C-5280 All-In-One. The quirky Cups picked up the proper printer driver. Thanks for the xsane info, I'll give it a try.

EDIT: It worked! All that was needed to add to Quirky 1.2rc's existing CUPS was Barry's new xsane pet and the hplip-3.9.12-scan.pet. As indicated the printer/scanner had to be rebooted after scanning in order to print. Thank you.Last edited by Jim1911 on Mon 31 May 2010, 10:19; edited 2 times in total

I can only comment on Quirky 1.00 but most likely it works on q1.1 too.

I had problem with reconnecting too when I used Puppy 431 but when I got Q1.00 and used Simple Network setup then all just works. So try to use that one and see if it help you get continues connection.

Edit

Firewave I have only tested it on wired LAN so don't know how it will behave on wifi.

Wifi is sensitive to movements in the room. Try to place the sender and receiver antennas as close and free sight and as little metal surfaces that makes reflections between them.

Even when people walk in the room can make one loose connection if they are too far from each other and lot of metal wiring that makes odd reflections. I'm no expert but have long experience of reflections on hifi radio sound getting distorted by reflections interference with each other.

so to move the modem just a few feet can help very much in difficult places._________________I use Google Search on Puppy Forum

There's .rpm and .deb packages in the archive as well as source code. Didn't take a look at it yet since I have no compiler on my quirky.Last edited by Firewave on Mon 31 May 2010, 10:40; edited 2 times in total

Thanks, I will try. Problem with the "Simple" setup was, that it didn't save the configuration in-between boots, so I had to configure it every time. The "normal" setup does save it for me, so it's the only one I use.

It's all a bit fuzzy with wireless for me since in this house the wireless doesn't work in the upper floor and the other wireless I use at another house is seriously unstable and keeps dying.
